DUFFY says she will always regret signing up to appear on Welsh TV talent show Wawffactor – because the experience was the most miserable time of her life

The Mercy singer still feels she was conned into performing on the American Idol-style show and, if she could go back and scrap it from her resumé, she’d be more than happy.

She tells America’s Spin magazine: “I was really young (and) I got used. I got roped into it.

“My teacher said to me ‘Look, this TV station is here, and they want to talk to you about your singing’.”

Duffy, who made her TV debut on the S4C show in 2003 and came second, added: “I signed my life away to the programme and, when I got there, it was completely different from what they had explained. I did it. I didn’t want to but I kept getting through.
